This template currently overrides the default ((navbox)) colours with some garish ones chosen when the template was first created. So fas as I know, the argument used in the revert which restored them applies specifically to "no right answer" debates such as US/UK spelling; not to personal aesthetics on standardised templates. ((Navbox/doc)) specifically says that changing the default styles is not recommended, and the vast majority of Wikipedia's navbox templates now use the defaults. This template does not have a pressing reason to do otherwise, and indeed none has been given other than its original author's personal preference. As such, the default styling (and the rest of the uncontroversial changes which were reverted alongside it) should be restored. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 13:00, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
There's been no reply to these comments in six weeks, so I've removed the unnecessary styling again. There are various good reasons not to override (consistency and code size/compexity being key), while the main argument to keep seems to be a misunderstanding of the MoS's stability comments.

Response to third opinion request: |
While Berean Hunter (talk · contribs) is correct that Wikipedia:MOS#Stability of articles allows him, as the major contributor to the template, to use the style he prefers, I would remind him that it also refers to *articles*, which a template, AFAIK, is not considered, and that consensus on whether or not to change cannot happen without discussion. It would also be good to keep WP:AGF in mind with regards to assigning motives to other editors. My third opinion, however, (and note that this explicitly does *not* create, and should not be used in creation of, consensus), is that the styling should remain as Berean Hunter prefers in the absence of consensus to change it. --Andrensath (talk | contribs) 11:08, 24 May 2010 (UTC) |
It can't. However, I am in possession of no special privileges on wikipedia, and even if I were, I wouldn't be able to compel Berean Hunter (talk · contribs) to respond, only ask him to do so. --Andrensath (talk | contribs) 11:29, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
This seems missing many topics in non-European archery. (such as Kyudo, and other archery sports/disciplines from the East) -- 76.65.131.160 (talk) 18:49, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
The Archery portal was recently deleted. I've removed the red link from the template. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 07:50, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
